Super Tasty Pizza

I have made pizza before (see here), but the one I made today (just in case my mac & cheese turned out bad - which it did, see "Attempted Mac 'n Cheese") was a step above those I've made in the past. The thing is, I'm not entirely sure what I did differently. I used the following recipe - adapted from the one on the Gluten Free Bisquick box.


Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups GF Bisquick
1 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 cup of water
1/3 cup of egg whites (or egg substitute)
1/6 cup of olive oil


Preheat the oven to 425ยบ. I just put all the ingredients in the same bowl and then mixed them up until it all lumped together. I then covered a cookie sheet with tin foil - shiny side up (I was borrowing a pan - so it was more for contamination safety measures but I'm not sure if it played a role in how the pizza cooked) and sprayed it with dairy free butter flavored cooking spray. I then pressed the pizza crust out onto the pan, pinching up the sides to give it a crust. 


Once the oven was heated I baked it for 15 min. I took it out and added pizza sauce and my toppings (chopped spinach - the kind that comes frozen in a box, sliced black olives and mushrooms). 






I then topped it with "Toffuti" Mozzarella slices. I then put it back in the oven for 20 minutes. And then took it out and let it cool.






What I particularly liked about this pizza was that the crust was still soft - it wasn't crunchy and the spinach reminded me of "Gino's East" pizza. We used to get the deep dish spinach pizza from there and it was amazing it is one of the things I miss the most.
